Benchmark Senior Living at Woburn

I left a bag of snacks in the tv room by accident and the workers allowed orher residents to go through it and take things out of it!!. That is dangerous. People could be allergic to something in something in the food. Whoever thoe residents are that took the food i just hope they are not allergic. I thought that was very irresponsible of the workers that just sat there watching them go through my bag!! Plus the food they serve there is cold!!

My mother is in Benchmark Senior Living at Woburn. The community, the administrative staff, and the assistants are all excellent. They have multiple activities every day and they have multiple activity rooms. They have exercise classes, arts and crafts, lectures, speakers who come in, and a wide variety of activities for seniors to choose from. They have music, entertainment, everything. She's in a 1-bedroom apartment. The pricing for this geographical area is average.

Benchmark looked very nice, although there was very little outdoor space. It looked beautiful but kind of lifeless. The rooms were typical, and the kitchenette looked nice and new.

My mother is at Benchmark Senior Living at Woburn and has been for the last month. It’s very nice, clean, and brand new. The people are so nice and friendly. She has not been doing well mentally, but it’s been the last couple of weeks that she was really taken of. She’s met some good people there her own age; they’ve really bonded, and she is a completely different person. They have different sizes of apartments, and my mother is in a deluxe studio which has plenty of room. She has a little bit of a memory issue, so it’s a perfect size for her. It fits her bedroom furniture, a lovely little couch, and her television. The room is beautifully appointed. It has a little kitchenette and a big beautiful bathroom. They all have to wear a GPS on them on their necklaces. I hadn’t seen this in other facilities when I looked at them. They have a hair salon and a gym. They had a kitchen where they had cooking classes on Saturdays, and a couple of days this week, they baked holiday cookies. Near the lobby, they have a nice sitting area with a big screen TV, and they have their happy hour there at 4 or 4:30 every day with hors d’oeuvres and entertainment. Then they go into dinner where the dining room is adjoined with this room. On each floor, there are a couple of sitting areas where there’s a couch, chairs, and a television, and you can get out of your room and go sit somewhere else. Everybody stays together. My mother can easily go out around the building. They have walking tours where they’ll put them all on a bus and go over to Holland Pond and Winchester or walk around the pond which is nice. This week, they’ve gone to a play. They have TED talks. They have people that come in and every day, they have an hour to talk about the news and have a discussion. They have a church. They’d take folks who want to go to church to church. They have a rosary for a half hour. They have trivia with the receptionist every day. They do a lot of things to keep the intellect stimulated.
